Abstract: | Approximating-nature forestry management technique application research is developed in Ciinninghamia lanceolata plantation for 17 years at Jiuxian Forest Farm in Songxi County, Fujian Province.The results show that the biodiversity of the C.lanceolata plantation was increased from 48.5±3.3 to 74.6±3.3 after adopting close-to-nature forestry management techniques.Compared with conventional management method,the tested forest’s soil fertility was improved:the soil moisture-physical properties and soil exchange properties were ameliorated,the soil nutrient contents were increased;the average breast height,average tree height,individual volume,Chinese fir stand volume and stand total volume were promoted by 9.24%-17.64%,8.61%- 17.29%,27.94%-58.46%,2.38%-28.64%and 8.63%-37.55%,respectively.The worse the site conditions,the greater the effect indexes with close-to -nature forestry management techniques were improved. |
